A/N: Ugh, Okay had difficulties posting this chapter but it should be fine now. This is a SasuNaru/NaruSasu shipping and I know NaruSaku seems to be thrown in a lot, but these things take time! Naruto has to realize more important matters first it seems. I'm expecting this to have many chapters to come. Should be fun! Enjoy~

Love Killer ~ The Ready Set


"What's going on, make it stop!?" Naruto heard another voice in his head, but this time, it wasn't the feral voice he was used to; it sounded more frantic and familiar. Was his mind really that twisted?

'That was not my subconscious!' Naruto panicked and blinked his eyes open and tried to push himself up, but he fell on all fours as if instinctively. Not on his knees? The blondes mind felt hazy and he was confused. 'That sounded like Sakura...'

"Point out the obvious… dobe."

"..."

"..." Give Naruto a second. He is- "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY HEAD YOU BASTARD!" Naruto bellowed out loud but instead of his voice he could have sworn he spoke, it turned out as a growling screech that almost deafened his own ears. 'What's going on!'

"Look at yourself, Idiot."

Naruto tried to stand back up but his legs did not allow him to once again, his knee wouldn't straighten the way he remembered. He felt an extra limb at his rear, it was waggle and blue eyes blinked when he turned around to find his back was NOT human nor was his beautiful, favorite black t-shirt on him like he remembered. Naruto trembled, 'I am not an animal… I am NOT an animal!' he repeated and tried to convince himself in his mind. The boy couldn't find reason for the moment as he looked down and around himself like a panicked caged monkey. 'It's all furry and all the colors of a god damn nasty and dirty fox!'

He thought he took a shower a few days ago...

"Naruto? He's in my mind? Eugh, he doesn't shower everyday!? That is so gross! Naruto!" She babbled on in their minds.

'Well that hurts...' Naruto thought. He took a whiff at his new form.

"... I would be locked minded with these idiots." Naruto heard Sasuke clear as day. It was so confusing to the boy, he couldn't wrap himself around anything. He felt as if his mind was connected completely with theirs. And it nearly hurt his brain to try to think of it and all you could do was just... accept it.

Naruto moved forward and he had perfect balance. He was a wolf. A wolf that looked like a scrawny little fox. He perked his ears and inhaled through his nose. Everything was ten times more stronger. Naruto turned around as his paw pads scrapped the wood floor beneath him. His clothes were all scattered on the ground; ripped and torn off. "How did this happen...?" Naruto understood his own language now, but his subconscious already knew it wasn't human and humans couldn't understand the blonde but only hear him bark or howl… or yelp.

Naruto looked back outside at the forming night clouds, he'd be damned if anyone were to see this. They'd think he killed his human self. 'Not literally.'

"Don't we wish.." Sasuke added.

Naruto snarled at the invaded thought.

'SHUT THE HELL UP! GET OUT OF MY MIND!' Naruto tried to yell as loud as possible in his mind but it almost seemed impossible and rather frustrating. He was smart enough to keep his mouth quiet before villagers started to notice the bellowing and found him.

'Insulting me even in my own bloody mind! What gives you the right you prick!' The boy rambled to himself mostly.

"Idiot, this is your fault. You're getting us out of this situation." The blonde understood that Sasuke was very careful of what he thought, he heard Sakura's loudly. She was screeching about her clothes that were ripped off. Naruto tried ignoring her voice in his head but it seemed to piss her off more when she knew what he was doing.

"What are we suppose to do now?" Sakura whined.

'Guys, we have to be quiet before villagers he-'

"Well no dip, loser." Sasuke cut quickly.

'Don't interrupt me in my own mind!' Naruto started to pad back into his apartment, it felt strange to have four legs and he was going to have to get used to it. The arguing between the three of them in the connected minds continued while he tried to figure out what to do.

'Damn it Sasuke, you're such a asshole!' Naruto grew more frustrated. This was cool in its own way, but he didn't want them to hear his own thoughts!

"Okay we need to calm down, Sasuke, Naruto, this is serious. Lets just sort everything out." Naruto smiled a little at Sakura's calm and mature tone this time. She did always keep the group together before it got out of hand and Naruto couldn't help but admire that feature of her. But she did that to impress Sasuke.

"Hn. Well, we share a mind now unfortunately. We need to ke-" In a wave of panic, Sasuke's thoughts were interrupted by Sakura.

Naruto understood Sakura's thoughts clearly in a flash of her annoyance, she was already spotted by one of the villagers and she was undoubtedly going to be treated like a pest.

"Outer Training grounds, Get moving." Sasuke managed to order in their minds.

Naruto flicked his tail to keep balance and it seemed to settle fluently. He shut the front door with his back paw and tried hurrying to the open window in his room that was… he just remembered was closed before he went to go leave the apartment. 'Hell! I locked myself in!'

"Nice going." He rolled his eyes sarcastically. The raven advanced straight to Naruto's apartment without much wasted time around the Uchiha grounds. Naruto was surprised at how stealthily he was and how adept he was already to his new form; as if he was a wolf the whole time. He wondered what he looked like, other than himself with his fox-like fur. "Thanks for the compliment, dobe."

Naruto would have blushed if he were still human, but whatever feeling in his body that was replaced, Naruto was sure it wasn't considered normal.

Sasuke always had his way with Naruto, It was hard trying not to think about some things, and he was sure Sasuke and Sakura knew he was trying hard to keep it that way. But something was odd about his thoughts perpetually and he didn't like it. It hasn't been 7 minutes and already Naruto wanted things back to normal. Naruto knew he did not want his thoughts being open for display to his team mates. He supposed the cure was the only option and he hope it would be the quickest.

"Sasuke, Naruto! They won't listen to me!"

'Sakura, humans don't understand us anymore.' Naruto worried for her, the villagers hated anything different or pesky… (Need I say more?)

Naruto waited and tried pushing the window open with his muzzle, it was frustrating and he started scratching on the window like a cat trying to open the front door. 'Paws are so different from humans.'

After a few minutes of waiting, Naruto saw a dark figure with onyx eyes jump up to his window and glare irritably, he already knew it was the raven by his all famous Uchiha glare. 'But, what the hell? Why was he so... Big!?' (So sorry...)

His entire pelt was shaded a midnight dark-grey with a smoky-white mix. He had larger paws than his own and Naruto frowned at that. Sasuke's inner ear and tail tip flickered the shade of pure white and a paint splatter of blazing white that just touched his chest and licked under his muzzle. Naruto took notice of his eyes when they colored the world a deep crimson instead of the oxyn color he thought he saw under quick judgment.

Sasuke stepped back and broke the window harshly as he rammed into the blondes room with his muscular wolf form.

Naruto stared, 'Why did he get the stronger wolf..' he glowered and stepped carefully over the broken glass that now was all over his floor and around the window. 'Shit, What am I going to tell my landlord..'

"Lets get Sakura." Naruto uttered. Sasuke looked at him and nodded before jumping off the platform of the third story apartment and carefully stepped onto the ground.

He would have to fix and pay for that window later and he really didn't want to spend money out of his ramen fund. He decided quickly he would make Sasuke pay for it.

The fox boy sighed and followed after Sasuke's lead. "What do we do n-" Naruto was cut off harshly as the midnight wolf whipped around and silenced him with a growl.

"Be quiet, idiot. You'll attract attention to us before we can even get to Sakura." Sasuke thought harshly.

Naruto growled back and refused to follow the asshole. 'Fine, I'll save her my way quicker than you ever wo-'

"I'm near the west gates, I lost my attackers back there. But where is Kakashi? I can't stand this already! What would happen to my parents? They'll be so worried!'

Naruto stopped and turned a corner and dashed towards the closest exit. It was better to go around then in the middle of the streets of Konoha. Sasuke got the same idea.

'Sakura, keep going to the training grounds. We need to make a game plan.' Sasuke agreed and Sakura followed instructions.

The two boys sprinted together smoothly as they ran in the depths of the woods after finding their way out of the town a lot smoother than they figured. Of course, they probably look like stray dogs from afar so it made it easier to run undetected towards this night.

But Naruto also took note to how dark it was in the forest like woods.

"Hn. Is the dobe afraid of the dark?"

"NO! I am not!" The blonde snarled out, he saw the raven smirk behind him but Sasuke kept his thoughts to himself. Naruto hated how he was skilled at hiding behind walls already.

"Common sense to just not think about it."

Naruto was on the edge of snapping when Sasuke read his thoughts again, 'I swear I feel like kicking him nasty in my human form already.' he growled and kept moving forward.

Sasuke found amusement in that.

As they started to find an opening towards the field, Sasuke stopped and halted him with his charcoal paw as he stepped on Naruto's golden, and not to mention, sensitive tail roughly. Naruto yelped surprisingly in pain , "Sasuke!" he turned to glare at Sasuke but he was serious.

"Shut it, dimwit." He focused his gaze towards his right side, his ears perked and alert. Naruto wondered what the hell the jackass was hearing. Sasuke was just insane to him. "Idiot, where being followed." He looked at Naruto and spoke silently in their connected thoughts. "Keep moving. Keep an eye out."

'Well I doubt humans would go as far as to chase down a couple of dogs.' Naruto retorted and glared at the command. No one ordered him around!

But he started to feel a shiver run down his spine when he started to think of the possibilities. If not ninja, then it could be other ravenous animals that happened to eat dogs for breakfast. He gulped and started to walk forward. Was it humans? He didn't want to be over some old perverts fireplace.

"Hurry up." Sakura was growing impatient by the second. Naruto let Sasuke take the lead and followed after.

Everything was happening so fast Naruto didn't get a chance to really catch his mind up correctly. He made a list in him head.

'Alright, firstly, I am currently a wolf. A fox looking one at that. Check.'

'I'm in a pack with my teammates. Well, Check.'

'My teammates can hear my thoughts..'

"Check.." Sakura thought annoyed.

Naruto ignored her and continued his mental checklist.

He was going to have to keep his thoughts under control. The last thing he wanted is for them to hear his personal ones. Naruto couldn't find out how they were able to lock their thoughts up behind a door when they pleased. He got the picture of Sasuke's door along with Sakura's that were now clearly closed. But they were mentally in it!

Naruto's door was chained and he felt a stabbing pain though his entire being when he tried opening it and walk in himself and his teammates seemed to sense it.

He got an extreme shiver and the blondes feelings came rushing back to him when he realized it was his past and all his pain. Naruto stopped instantly and stepped back into the jet black hallway when he noticed he stopped breathing. He blinked his eyes and came back to reality.

"Lets not do that.." Sakura responded to that, though she was curious, she didn't give much more thought about Naruto's door.

'Dammit...' That's unfair. Why did his thoughts have to be on display?

Naruto didn't realize he was slowing down until he saw Sasuke reach the open field ahead of them. Naruto sighed and trotted up to Sasuke. He was able to see a moving figure in the corner and realized it was Sakura walking in small circles. Naruto dashed towards her and smiled, "Wow, you look pretty cool in wolf form, Sakura." She looked at the boy for a second than eyed Sasuke with endearment; Loving of course.

Sakura was corral, her muzzle a pure white as well as her underbelly. Her tail tip was colorless as well as her front paws. She looked perfectly innocent with her strong emerald gaze and Naruto couldn't help but stare. Her pinkish nose stood out and he never thought he'd find a dog attractive. But what also ticked him off was that she was also a bit larger than him! It was true, she was slightly... SLIGHTLY, taller than him in their real forms but he hated how these were so accurate.

The pink wolf smiled, "Sasuke~" She got up and ran to him almost instantly. Naruto saw Sasuke give an irritable glare and she nearly instantly backed off when she heard his thoughts. Naruto would have to if he was her…

Sasuke sat down on his haunches and curled his tail around him like a cat; keeping his gaze from where he came from. Sakura sat a little away from him but a distance where she could still look at him closely, Naruto frowned, 'I wish Sakura would at least look at me a little longer… '

Naruto winced when he realized they heard him but they seemed to ignore it as he sat across from both of them. Naruto hated this form. They were hiding inside their own doors and thinking publicly as they pleased. He wondered why his thoughts where the only ones being heard right now from both public and private. 'Oh wait, there is a damn chain in my door.' He growled.

Sakura smacked Naruto in the back of the head with her white paw and growled, "Baka, just stop thinking."

'Stop thinking? What? How can I s- '

Sakura interrupted his thoughts when she smacked him again but harder into the ground this time. She was surely strong as hell in her wolf form! Stronger than usual...

"Nyhh.. That hurt like shit, Sakura! Don't you know your own strength!?" He whined.

"Sasuke you sense someone?" Sakura placed her paws neatly and wagged her tail slightly.

"..." He flicked his ears and closed his eyes slowly, seemingly to shake off his alert feeling and thinking. "It was just my new senses growing adept of other species crawling around. We need to find Kakashi for that cure. No one will listen to us when they can't understand us, they will treat us like pests. So a plan to get him will be in order after we get sleep. Trying to find him when he has been missing most of the afternoon will just hinder us from finding him any quicker." He said with little interest and right to the point.

"But they'll find us missing and come look for us, right?" Naruto questioned.

Sakura looked at Naruto and nodded her head, "They'll look forus…"

Naruto stood up and paced to and fro. "So what now? Do we have to wait a whole night until tomorrow? I really don't want to sleep like this. And how could they find us if we are animals?" Naruto looked at his teammates.

Sasuke stood up and turned slowly, "I know where a cave is for now. Until I can figure a way to grab their attention with my chakra, we should rest."

That was a great idea, and Naruto really did hate how he always came up with them. Naruto snorted and stood where he was until he saw Sasuke's retreating back. He sighed and followed after. Gathering his thoughts then might be easier after some sleep maybe.

Sakura shook her pelt from the leaves and followed in step.

Naruto had his back turned on Konoha and followed Sasuke once again. It was annoying to keep following after him but at this point, he didn't have a choice.

The blondes tail hung limply with his white-tipped ears faced forward in concentration. Naruto really didn't feel like being out at night, and all he wanted was to go home and rest now. Sleeping in caves without blankets or food supply wouldn't necessarily be first on his list. Or anywhere on it. No ramen? This was a nightmare...

They passed by a small lake outside of Konoha's boundaries. Since they couldn't be spotted by humans, they had to go out a little further. Naruto strolled near the edge and looked into the pool of navy, his reflection stared back at him with an darker azure gaze. He looked down at his dusty, black paws leading up to his elbows and checked himself out a little; he never had a good look with all the commotion. His bottom jaw was pure white that followed down to his chest and stomach with his light pink nose whiffing near the pool of water. His muzzle was a comfy back with brown ruffling his underfur that seemed to strongly resemble a golden fox . Naruto looked at his ears as they darkened black with a inner tan color standing out. He looked like he was part fox and wolf. He also found himself scrawny and irritating. Compared to Sakura and Sasuke, he was quite the short one. Curse the scroll.

The boy lapped up some fresh water and it was actually hard to get used to. His tongue was very skilled to say though as he gulped down some. After he got his fill, Naruto licked up the water droplets falling from his mouth and turned around to catch up to his teammates. There was an exciting feeling, but something about him felt missing. The whole time he felt something was missing. His mind felt empty, he felt more vulnerable, And he felt more… alone, If that made sense. Though his teammates were with him and practically connected with him, he felt wrong. And not just physically.

They finally made it to the shelter of the cave Sasuke led them to. The cave was at the side of a small hillside. Trees leaned over and vines covered a bit of the entrance which made the place bearable and safe. There was a weird mixed scent in it though and he didn't like it. But beggars couldn't be choosers.

Naruto was never too fond of dark and tight spaces so he stayed near the entrance while the other two sat in the back of the cavern.

The fox plopped down on the harden stone beneath him and exhaled in the silence. They had to be well rested and as much as he would like to find something to eat, (Which again, included finding something involving the word, ramen) he could wait ten hours…


The cave was darkened around the midnight hours. You couldn't see much of the outline of the three team mates as they slumbered behind the vines. Being in a wolf form, it was necessary to be in a deep sleeper in a safe-like environment. Naruto woke up abruptly to sounds, and he was never a light sleeper. But the sounds emanating from the woods where something he wouldn't normally have heard If he was human. In fact, he wondered why he woke up in the first place.

Since he wasn't completely able to keep his thoughts to himself, he probably was locked outside the dark hallway and still fairly aware.

There was cracking of the leaves; mumbling. It was a caravan of people. No scratch that, shinobi. It was too quiet and no non-shinobi would be out this late according to the time of night.

The blonde arose to his feet… well… paws and was quiet enough to make sure Sakura and the bastard stayed asleep. Not that it be much of a problem. Sakura was fast asleep in one corner and Sasuke's back was facing them both in another corner. 'Of course'

He wondered if he should wake them both but decided against it. Better not get yelled at if they were just regular people passing by.

As curiously got the best of the fox boy, he stepped quietly out of the cave, (which was kinda hard since his paw pads made a noise whenever it scrapped a little on the harden stone). He then investigated the group he knew he had heard.

The fallen leaves crunched under his light weight. Without the ninja shoes, It was hard getting used to much heavier footing. Instead of hearing two, you heard four. Stupid body structure. 'Why do I need four legs.' He growled lowly.

It was deep into the night and Naruto didn't have much of any thought. He wanted some ramen. Who wouldn't? The forest they were currently staying in had little creeks and sounds from other wildlife. He knew one thing, he never got this much in touch with nature and he felt somewhat of a nature energy. Could he use that? Did he even still have Chakra?

He stepped further away from the cave they were staying in and followed the dying out sounds. If it was a group of rogue ninja, he would have to fight them off in this form, he could right? The worst thing that could happen would be him being useless in an attack on his village. He refused to feel useless.

His ears perked when he heard voices once again. He halted abruptly and his ears followed the voices. This had to be them. But now he was confused, It wasn't other ninja, it was not even a human voice, but in a language he understood nevertheless.

Now that he thought about it, wolves are found in the woods. He shrugged and padded into an opening were the voices grew louder. He was nearly there and able to make out the exact words they were saying. He mindlessly nuzzled his way into a bush-like wall and stood into the open with curious eyes.

Well... What he saw wasn't… exactly what he'd expected. And they sure weren't wolves if you were wondering.

Ever been in one of though awkward predicaments where someone comes face to face with you in absolute silence, judging you by the second? Well, it seems the blonde had just walked in on something like that.

But a little more adorabler.

Three grizzly bear cubs stared at him in silence, they blinked those little beady eyes and Naruto gave a bright wolffish grinned.

"Hey-"

Naruto was cut off by a roaring cry by one of the little cubs. He winced and padded closer, "No, don't cry little bear! Shhhusshh!" Naruto didn't realize how rough his voice must have sounded considering the other went to tattle-tell and ran away in fear. It must have been very harsh for them.

'SHIT SHIT SHIT!' Where there is cubs, there is a grizzly bear that will rip Naruto's balls off without a second thought.

The Uzumaki turned around immediately and full-out sprinted back to the cave… 'If I could find it!' He cringed. 'Crap! Guys, wake up! Where is the cave!'

He received no response, 'God damn heavy sleepers!'

Wasn't he suppose to be the heavy sleeper?

Naruto stopped a good distance away where he might not be chased down at. Not like the mother would find him now anyways. Who goes that far for revenge unless you're a... 'Uchiha bears? … Dumb thought. ' The blonde rested for a second and looked to and fro.

He was sure he walked through the clearing first. He was now on the other side near a small pool of water. He was certainly confused now.

'Sasuke! Hey, Bastard! Cocksucker!' He grew frustrated and looked for the river that they found before they trialed it to the cave. This little pond had to be connected to it, right?

'Forget it, I don't need your help.'

Naruto caught his breath and lowered his muzzle to the ground, 'Lets see if these wolf senses work.' He took a good whiff at the grass and moved forward; looking for a trace of something understandable. Something did certainly smell strange to the boy… But, he couldn't quite understand. Suddenly, a bug caught into the blondes black nostril.

"DAMN IT!" He shouted loudly and sneezed harshly. 'If not one thing, it's another.'

He sat down roughly on his haunches and watched as the bug scrambled to run away for its life because of the horror it had just experienced.

"Yeah, you run you little bug." he muttered and scratched his ear with his back paw. "I thought we passed through here…" He murmured and looked around and saw nothing but the forest's dark green outlines of trees and bushes.

'Guys… Have you woken up yet!? Sakura? Wake. up! Wake. The. Crap. Up!' He mentally slapped Sasuke across the face and chuckled at the thought.

Sasuke was usually not a deep sleeper. Maybe being a wolf had more effects than he thought. Was their sleeping schedule also going to be off for the long while? How long did wolves sleep? Naruto certainly wasn't a heavy sleeper anymore it seems.

Coming out here was a bad idea. Maybe they should have just stayed together in the village and hopefully someone could have put together the pieces. How likely was that? Not very. The villagers could be very harsh.

Being lost in the woods during the day was different then during the night and worse when you were not particularly human and everything around you looked the same. He has been out on this side of the woods when he was looking for a cat on a mission. 'It was Sasuke's fault. He was the one who let the cat out of his site when I caught it! … Well, I told him where it was, but watching the cat shouldn't have been my job!'

But the point stands were being human and jumping above the ground looked a lot more different than walking below.

"Well I better find the cave." He stood up and continued to walk forward, stopping every few paces to keep track of where he was and try to tract any foot prints.

'Stupid bears. With their stupid cubs.' Naruto pouted and tried to sniff out where his teammates would be. 'How do these things work? You just sniff the air? Maybe I could wake them from here… '

The blonde howled out to his teammates as best he could, which surprisingly seemed loud enough for anyone a few miles away to hear. He grinned and lowered his muzzle back down. 'I'm a awesome damn wolf. Seriously.' He thought egotistically.

A few moments passed and he was about to just find somewhere else to sleep the rest of the night. They'd wake soon and find him missing. Most likely they could wake him too since his mind was up for display.

The blonde perked his ears and stood still, everything was still until he heard movement behind him. "Sasuke, don't even try to scare me." he growled and turned around, "I swear you two are the heaviest sl-" He stopped his sentence when he heard a low grumble.

"... Sasuke?" Naruto hated this adventure with a burning passion. But he couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his back, someone or something was surrounding the boy.

He dug his paw into the ground for a better grip on the earth, "Alright then… Shadow clon-!?" He tried to stand up and perform his Shadow Clone jutsu out of habit but he seemed to forget that his paws didn't necessarily work like hands and his legs didn't straighten. Naruto fell back down on all fours and heard a sharp bark emerge from the bushes and a giant beast charged straight at him in a rough movement.

He snapped his eyes opened and descended flat on his back, the attacker had his paw pressed harshly on his white chest, his muzzle wrinkled as he snarled hostilely. The opponent halted his attack briefly and Naruto's heart quickened and he yelped at the sharp pain embedded in his chest.

"What are you doing in our territory?" His voice was strong and Naruto nearly submitted in a quick instinct. He was another wolf, his dark eyes grounding the fox boy. His pelt was a pure white with specks of dirt here and there. His body was built and many inches taller than that of Naruto's. His yellow optics beamed into the blonde like fresh meet.

'Remind me to never venture out into the woods as a lone wolf.'

Naruto growled aggressively and shoved the weight of the pure white off with his back legs with pure determination and capsized. He seized the moment to attack the other with the little strength he had as a wolf. Naruto launched forward with shinobi-like speeds as his jaws snapped into the whites side and bit into almost bony flesh. He snarled and shoved the blonde away quickly with a rough scratch, he then rammed Naruto into a tree helplessly. When the boy regained his balance, he felt his anger boil at the pain. His back collapse under the whites full weight and crushed the breath out of him. Naruto closed his eyes unknowingly and squirmed to get back to his feet.

"What are you doing!?" Naruto yelped helpless, 'If I wasn't a wolf right now, he'd be fresh meat on my table!'

He growled closer to the fox-boys ear, and he gasped when his sharp claws dug into his back with a ripping sound making itself known, "You are on our territory." He barked his last word.

'Naruto? Whats going on?'

Finally! Sakura was up, He inwardly sighed, 'Just find me before I'm killed!'

'Idiot..' Sasuke seemed to already have left his post.

Naruto tried getting back up with anew strength but his claws dug deeper when he refused to speak, Naruto underwent a unwanted whined, "Listen! I was just passing by! I was trying to find my frie-"

"There's more of you?" The large brute leaned down and took a closer inspection oh him, "You smell of the humans!" He interrupted darkly, "Are you the human's dog?"

The boys' anger picked back up in a angry heat, "DOG!? I'm a wolf!" He never thought he'd say that.

"Heh, more like a runt." He chuckled darkly, when Naruto turned his head to the left, he saw the amused look on the whites face above him. He certainly had a voice of authority and diffidently a scary outlook. But that didn't stop Naruto.

"Runt!?" Naruto bellowed. Who was he to call him a runt? The fox boy heard ruffling and more wolves appeared behind the said wolf. There was a total of three behind him. A light brown wolf grinned at him and the grey and red stood closely behind with protective gazes. 'Dammit! It's a pack and their leader has me!'

'Just wait a second Naruto.' Sakura responded and used her already accustomed senses. The blonde was impressed indeed.

He took another whiff at Naruto's ruffled pelt, growling ever so, "Humans." He turned his head back to the three trusted wolves. With that, he tried escaping again but was forced down once more by the whites paw, "Kill him." He ordered with no second thought.

"Wooh what!?" Naruto felt the weight release off himself but the sound of unison growls and the feeling of tension in the air shivered him to the bone along with his lacerated wounds bedded in his body. He guarded himself back up to his full height and braced himself for the impact, 'Guys!' Naruto panicked and he felt his adrenaline start to pump.

The first brown colored brute came forward. Naruto's eyes were unfocused ahead and he felt the first blow that was to quick for him to comprehend, hit him in a blur. Naruto wrestled the strong brown wolf. He was pushing his body forward in a way that was very skilled and eventually, his back met the ground once more and he rolled them both over two times before his opponent's weight beat his and pushed him back down.

Naruto felt a bite catch near his neck from the grey and he howled out in pain as he kicked the underbelly of the said brown colored that was currently restraining him from going anywhere.

The third red wolf roughly snapped at the blondes hind legs and enabled them to continue kicking helplessly, their combination forcing the boy to stay down. He fought back, the pain screaming in his mind as the three tore at his skin. He felt utterly helpless as his head hit the dirt and blood dripped near his head from his body. His head told him to give it up, and he snapped his jaws onto a grey wolf's foot and tore ravenously, he couldn't give up a fight. Not like this.

"Naruto!"
